The Executive Research Process

Executive research is the direct, flexible and highly cost effective process of identifying and attracting potential candidates with specific skills for specific opportunities.

Our research process allows clients to approach talented individuals, who are not necessarily active candidates, to communicate the strengths of any opportunity directly to them.

Executive research also brings the significant additional benefits of market intelligence, confidentiality and speed to any resourcing assignment.

Our research process works as follows:

  • Client Assignment Briefing
  • Target Company List Construction
  • Target Company Structure Identification
  • Ongoing Research Reporting
  • Potential Candidate Approaches
  • Client / Candidate Interviews
  • Assignment Completion

We deliver the transparent service you need, for all or part of any assignment. Clients use us flexibly on a switch on, switch off basis. We also work the way you want, from the reporting format, to the pace of the assignment and the levels of confidentiality we employ.

We anticipate challenges in assignments, perhaps around salary issues or skills shortages, and suggest the right solutions.

At all times you have instant access to any assignment. We are always available to update you as frequently as you need. We keep you informed of significant developments in the search, particularly news of high quality candidates.

Excellent client and candidate management is crucial to a successful assignment. A ‘no surprises’ approach to communication underpins everything we do.
